LOL! I like the katydid in 3 of the shots. Was that your detail partner for the day? Great job btw! :)

It smells like Brut Cologne. Which I have no problem with but it's overpowering. My brother used some and commented that it, "Smells like old man."

+1 on much of the advice. Get better lighting so you can see everything. Work one panel at a time, in a consistent manner. I start with the roof, then hood, then driver side door and work my way around the car from there, going counterclockwise around the vehicle, top to bottom on each panel...

I've never painted a car in my life but am willing to bet I could pull off a better job than that. I too thought it was flat black when I first saw the pic. Good thing it has 4 coats of clear to work with!

I've applied options coat to a couple cars and it is very simple. Do one panel at a time, artery a couple minutes lightly wipe off excess areas of options coat that haven't flashed off on its own. Don't worry about dust because the options coat flashes so fast, dust landing on it isn't a...

It would appear you are considering using opti-coat. Its not black here is write up I did going over the application of opti-coat. You may or may not find it helpful. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/35657-jeep-patriot-opti-coat-2-0-a.html

Black BMW M3 I used opti coat 2.0 on. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/36097-2011-bmw-m3-three-step-correction-lots-pics.html

I'm a fan of every other Optimum product I've tried, which is why I was surprised to get the results I did with it. I only wash in complete shade, I've tried using less than the recommended amount, I've mixed it with ONR, I've rinsed after just doing a couple panels instead of waiting to do the...

Gold Class is good and be found at Walmart if you can get past the smell. Duragloss or DP Extreme Foam are good choices that you can get from AG. I have a gallon of the Optimum Car Wash and after using it several dozen times have now moved it to a wheel wash. It leaves a ton of streaking...

Best shot so far! :D

Great work on an amazing car!! :dblthumb2:

DP Glass Restorer is what I like using. Works pretty well by hand, works fantastically by machine.

Same shot as my avatar just cropped differently and larger. My wife's 2010 VW CC daily driver after being washed, clayed and getting 3 coats of BFWD.

Great job and one of my favorite cars!

Awesome car, congrats!

DP interior cleaner and protectant are my favorites.

Poorboys DMT is my favorite LSP mf.

Great cleanup on a great looking car! Did you get to take it around the block and have some fun with the 600+hp? ;)

Nice job!

Great turnaround! :props:
